20 years ago, the original Synapse did something pretty special – it quietly reimagined the whole road riding experience. Reasoning that most riders were really looking for something other than the high-strung, second-shaving pro race bikes, or the mild and mellow “comfort” road bikes available at the time, Synapse blazed a new path. By melding race-level performance and weight with real rider-friendly comfort and handling, Synapse set the template and the tone for what would become known as the Endurance road bike category. Fast forward two decades and six generations of Synapse, and it’s still out front, setting the pace and helping define what the future of core, for-the-love-of-the-ride, road bikes will look like. Synapse is real performance, for the real world.
Unreal performance for real world roads. Unless you’re a WorldTour pro, the Synapse is the perfect road bike for any job. Whether you’re tackling a record-breaking lap of Australia like Lachlan or smashing the not-so-social Sunday ride with your mates, the Synapse exceeds expectations. It blends WorldTour-level aerodynamics and stiffness-to weight with top-tier tire clearance, compliance, and smart features.
FEATURES:
- Real World Performance: Designed to go fast, built to go long, and made to keep you comfortable, the Synapse redefines road performance. With a sub-1000-gram lightweight carbon frame featuring wind-tunnel-sculpted tubing and PB-blasting stiffness-to-weight, it’s a bike that’s ready for anything you demand of it. Just ask Lachlan Morton why he trusted it for his record-smashing lap of Australia. Unreal speed, engineered for real-world roads.
- Compliant Comfort: With advancements in our carbon layup, our engineers have made the new Synapse 20% more compliant than its already butter-smooth predecessor, ensuring you feel 100% more comfortable even on the roughest roads.
- Like A Glove: A great fit and feel makes for a great ride. And with our Proportional Response Construction, every rider gets that as standard. From the carbon layup through to the geometry, everything on Synapse has been tuned and tested by frame size. So that your bike works in harmony with you to deliver the best possible ride.
- Bring it All, Bring it On: Our all-new StashPort downtube storage system is there when you need it and out of sight when you don’t. Designed to work seamlessly with its StashBag companion, it keeps your ride essentials secure no matter where the road takes you. Plus, with hidden top tube bag mounts, discreet fender mounts, and room for high-volume, capable tires, the new Synapse is built to go long and go hard, no matter what the day brings.
-
Ride Confident: Enjoy improved visibility, enhanced situational awareness, and unmatched convenience with the second generation of our SmartSense system. More discreet, more integrated, and more powerful than ever, this intelligent and connected system of lights, radar, sensors, and our Cannondale app brings easy peace of mind to every ride. All running from a single concealed battery, the rear-facing Garmin radar keeps you switched on to approaching traffic, while intelligent headlights and taillights adapt blink patterns and/or brightness to let other road users know you’re there. It will even power your SRAM AXS shifting. And with just one long-lasting battery to charge, it’s
easier than ever to get out and ride with confidence.

Excellent product, but keep it away from chewers.
Style: 2.5" Ball
This is a very strong and effective launcher and could have lasted a very long time had my 9 month old not chewed the ball claw end off. I will buy again.

Our Dog Loves This Ball Thrower So Much
Style: 2.5" Ball
Works excellent for dogs that like to fetch! Our family dog loves this toy. He will bark and jump as soon as he sees us pick it up. The dog next door to us gets excited when he sees us play with our dog with this dog ball thrower. Its that good for dogs who love to fetch and run. Perfect for the young and elderly to play fetch with a pet dog. If you have back or shoulder problems works very well. You don't have to bend down and pick up a slobbery ball. Nope you use this to pick up, grip up and grab the ball. Wish every dog could have this ball thrower in their lives. It has changed the way we play fetch with our dog.

Good Pet Ball Launcher
Style: 2.5" Ball
I bought to throw balls for my Aussie. He does not like to tennis ball that came with it and chewed it up in less than one play time. The launcher seems to be of good quality and works well. We bought different balls made for launchers that work well.

Must-Have for Dog Owners (Whow have dogs that like to fetch)
Style: 2.5" Ball
Soon as this launcher arrived I went outside with the dogs to try it out. Long story short: This is a great fetch toy. I am able to launch the ball pretty far with little to no effort, and picking the ball back up is as easy as grabbing it with my own hand.
The toy itself is very sturdy, so much so this is the only fetch-toy I'll ever have to buy. Considering how durable it is, I don't think I'll ever need to buy a replacement. I believe Chuck-It is the most popular option, and because this is the first fetch-toy I purchased, I can't really compare it to anything else. A few outlier reviews said the ball was difficult to launch, and I have to disagree. It has been so easy to use I can't possibly see what the problem is. And no, upper body strength is not a factor as I virtually have none. People can get great distance (Half the length of a football field by my eye) in one simple, easy motion. And if other products can launch the ball farther, so what? How far is far enough? Is your dog going to throw a fit because it went 40 meters instead of 50? No. They will not. For anyone upset this toy doesn't launch far enough, ask yourself this: Is the toy for their dog? Or the human who bought it?
The bottom line is this: It feels like it's built to last, it's inexpensive, and it does what it is supposed to do. So long as a toy is "good enough" I don't see the point in splitting hairs and trying to determine which fetch toy is the absolute best.
Saying it's good enough is a bit misleading though. I can't imagine how a dog toy like this could be any better.
It's a must-have for any dog owner. Unfortunately, only one of my pups likes to fetch...

Works Like a Charm!

WoW!! This thing is pretty cool! It can pick the ball up off the ground - and with little effort - It can throw the ball 3X Higher and Further than I ever could! It wont hurt my elbow or wrist ( way better than before when I was wearing myself out ) I don’t know how I ever got along without it!! It's a must have if your dog loves playing ball. :-)
Update: I've had this For 7 Months Now- it looks and works Great just like the day I bought it- Thumbs up!
